YWCA Greater Austin is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, strengthen communities, help families, and stand up for social justice.

We're not new to this, we're true to this.

Established in 1907, we are one of the oldest women's organizations in the Greater Austin area. Since our inception, we have been at the forefront of the most pressing social movements - from voting rights to civil rights, from immigrant justice to pay equity, from violence prevention to health care reform.

Today we combine programming and advocacy in order to generate institutional and community change in behavioral health access, racial justice, and issues impacting women, girls, and their families.

YWCA Greater Austin offers trauma-informed youth services and educational opportunities for those of all ages. Our work is framed by a holistic, trauma-informed, relational-cultural framework, acknowledging racism, social privilege, intersectionality, and the impact of environmental forces.

Provides curriculum-based educational groups during school hours or school breaks that work toward increasing youth resiliency, developing social emotional learning and self-regulation, healing from trauma, expanding personal and cultural understanding of self-identity, and increasing feelings of empowerment and community connectedness.

Discussions covering topics such as the reproductive systems and menstrual cycle, contraception methods, reproductive justice, and the connection between mental and reproductive health. Attendees will also enjoy a self-care craft activity, snacks, and goodie bags.

Makes financial planning, investing, and budgeting accessible to historically marginalized or underserved communities. We work with experts to make the best financial advice affordable and accessible!
